The Australian finnsheep (also known as finnish landrace) is a centuries old northern European sheep breed, in Australia since mid 1980's. It has a super-lustre super-soft wool ideal for yarns (and also highly desired by handspinners). One of the most environmentally friendly and ethically run sheep breeds, it has a naturally short tail (no docking /removal or mulesing needed), has multiple lambs, browses as well as grazing grasses, and is friendly and docile to handle! It is a rare breed worldwide as well as in Australia-buying Suri-Silk and FINNesse yarns helps to support the continuing survival of the breed in Australia.
Australian fiber sent to New Zealand for spinning and returned back to us here in Oz. Fibre grown in Oz and yarns designed in Oz and Oz labels.
